Yes, BRTD, let's continue to send military aid to juntas just because they say they'll probably get around to holding elections.  That's worked out so well before.

It's not a military junta. The President has a judicial, not a military background.

McCain on the other hand clearly wants the Muslim Brotherhood back in power. FYI the Muslim Brotherhood are now spreading propaganda accusing the current President of beinga Jew. What a charming bunch.

because he wants elections?

...which is going to happen in 9-12 months.

which is it?  9 or 12?

Is BRTD becoming a Christian Zionist?

I don't support Israel and would favor ending US aid to them, at least as long as Netanyahu is in power.

[H. Ross Peron]

Unless he was demanding aid be cut off when Morsi was in power, McCain's a hypocrite.

And he can even decide when to go to the presidential bathroom without a military permission. Don't be stupid.

I will believe it when I see it. And not a moment before the elected president's inauguration.

The problem is: US, clearly, has authorized the coup. It is nearly certain, the generals were told aid would continue. This is nasty and stupid. And the outcome will be tragic.

McCain is right. Perhaps for the wrong reasons, but he is right, nevertheless. Unfortunately, it won't happen.

[politicus]

McCain is 100% right on this one.

Part of being a democracy is dealing with the sh*t leaders you elect until you can vote them out again. I understand that Morsi was starting to give himself dictatorial type powers, but this military coup is likely to lead to an Egyptian Civil War. McCain is completely correct in his demands here. No support unless there's democratic elections going on.

Obama has really bungled the response on this one. He's pissed off both sides incredibly so far.

[Хahar 🤔]

How dare John McCain support the democratically elected President of Egypt?

McCain is 100% right on this one.

For the first time ever on foreign policy.

This. McCain just wants to make it difficult for Obama to govern out of spite. Spite has driven John McCain's mentality since 2000. The only reason he wasn't like this as bad with Bush is because he still thought he could be President in 2008.

[SPC]

I guess a broken clock really is right twice a day.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

How dare John McCain support the democratically elected President of Egypt?

We can't let Muslims elect their leaders.

[DC Al Fine]

Hat tip to BRTD for recognizing that democracy does not necessarily mean liberal democracy.

So if there were massive Tea Party anti-Obama demonstrations in DC, then the Secretary Chuck Hagel along with the Joint Chiefs of Staff orders to military to remove Obama from office and in his place puts in Chief Justice John Roberts as interim President until elections which will take place at some unspecified date, you will consider it not a military junta.
